THE BATTLE OF MALVERN HILL.

This battle properly closes the terrific seven
days fighting,
AS the troops came in they were posted in
strong positions about Malvern Hill by Gen Bar
nard chief engineer. They changed front and
were faced toward Richmond.
1t was finally settled, however. that the perma-
rent camp was not TO be ct Malvern Hill but at
Harrisons landing, on the river, where supplies
could be better obtained and where the army
could be under the protection of the gunboats.
Gen. Mcclellan went on board the Galena to con-
suit with Commodore Rodgers about the supplies.

taken Richmond without much difficulty

Meantime Gen. Lee began fortifying around
Richmond with all The resources at his COM

there appeared on every commanding spot
about the Confederate capital frowning de

was TOO late to take Richmond without great

It is the duty of every person who
have used Boschee's German Syrup
to let its wonderful qualities be
known to their friends in curing
consumption, severe coughs, Group,
asthma. pneumonia, and in fact all
throat and lung diseases. No per-
son can use it without immediate
relief. Three doses will relieve any
case, and we consider it the duty
of all druggists to recommend it to
the poor, dying consumptive, at least
to try one bottle, as $4,000 dozen
bottles were sold last year, and no
one case where it failed WAS report
ed. Such a medicine as the Ger

known. Ask your druggist about
it. Sample bottles to try,

The Colorado Midland Mystery Solved.
At meeting of the Directors of
the Atchison. Topeka & Santa Fe
road at Topeka on Thursday, a line
from Ness City, Kansas, to Coloado
Springs was projected to connect
with the Midland road, with Salt
Lake City as the objective point,
touching at Leadville. 1t will cross
about 200 miles Of prarie and par
allel the Kansas division of the
Union Pacific, running between that
road and the main line Of the Atchi-
son and Pueblo. This important
action apparently settles the mooted
question of the controle Of the Col
orado Midland railroad. From the
first it has been supported by some
powerful combination. No one
supposed for an instant that it was
to be a mere local line depending
upon traffic between Colombo
Springs, Leadville and Aspen.
There was too much money behind
it. Besides it is one of the COM
pletest and most substantially con-
structed tracks in the west, and as
a piece of mountain railroad it has
not its equal. The rolling stock is
Of the very best, the finest steel is
used in the track, the stone work
and the bridges are complete in
every particular and it is ofiicered
by men trained in the service of the
Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Rail-
road company. Among railroad
circles the Colorado Midland has
been mystery, even among its own
officers and many were the conject-
ures as to it's ownership. Conject-
ure is now at rest and instead of
eighty-fve miles of marvelously
well constructed road hidden among
mountains, it now transpirers that
it is simply part of the most 81

has ever seem Denver Repub-

Silver Circulation.

During the first week in April
the circulation of silver certificates
was increased to $2.S49.195 and
since thAk. time the demand for cur
rency has constantly improved, and
the amount of currency in the chan
nels is lager than it has been for
number,,of years. A larger pro-
portion of this money is in silver
certificates, and there is found no
objection TO its use except among
the Wall street brokers. As rapidly
as issued the silver certificates have
been readily absorbed, they have
fulfilled every requirement of cur
rency Wherever used, and have not
been rejee.ed except at the New
York Clsa&ing House, of which
the Govesament treasury depart
ment is a member. By what au-
thority this. institution claims to be
wiser than .all the rest Of the coun-
